dondons1uk Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Thanks guys! Another question for those in Oz who got email and had to leave (laf was it you who went to Bali?) When you emailed them giving flight details how quickly did they come back and say ok. I've booked for this Sunday and am worried they won't see my email in time!

CEP Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 @SydneyBound I’m still here and still waiting. i haven’t informed anyone- as far as I’m aware they’ll know you’re onshore from VEVO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping to hear some time in these two weeks. any tips would be welcome. We updated my address and that's how they knew I was in Auz. But they also then asked for further information being an updated list of countries visited because clearly I've now visited Australia. So it may be worth updating your list of countries travelled in past 10 years too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waitingaround Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 So....... New here but had a trawl through the threads and all of the info on here helped me apply for my wife's 309/100, so thanks to all those on here that have shared their journey. We have just applied on Wednesday (12th Dec 2018) and appear to have joined an ever growing que. Has anyone ever had to apply for a Police check from Cyprus? I applied around 2 months ago and haven't heard a peep. They have my Email, Home phone and mobile number. Hoping someone on here has had this experience before? I have rang all numbers available online and Emailed all offices from the Cyp Embassy London to the Chief of Police in Cyprus, no replies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on Santa .... need a pressy before Xmas!!!! I’m in the same boat....hoping for the best Xmas present!! its so frustrating reading on other forums too, of people applying months after us and only waiting about 6 months. Now over 8 months and it’s been 7 weeks since uploading additional info. I really feel that when you are paying that kind of money your application should be processed in some order rather than just random. im sure they can understand that people have houses to sell and maybe businesses to tie up, dogs to transport etc which takes months to organise after visa been granted. I really hope they want to clear their desks for Xmas. Fingers crossed for everyone waiting X good luck 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingers Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Another week begins and another wait resumes..... who is left from the additional info list and who is just waiting atm???? Come on Santa .... need a pressy before Xmas!!!!Hi Katie!I submitted in August, extra info was requested in November - AFP checks for my Sponsor, his Sponsorship forms and additional Financial evidence -all submitted within the week. We've been together since 05, married in Australia in 08. He is an Aussie with dual citizenship. No kids to bring and strong family ties in Australia. We've even just completed on a House in Perth today so just awaiting that magical email so I can book flights. It's painful waiting isn't it! I don't think mine will be in before Christmas, but fingers crossed that others are granted - it will mean mine will be working it's way to the top of the pile!

We decided we wanted to be semi rural but still within a decent distance to the CBD. I have family up there too, which helps! You get A LOT more for your money in Perth too. My other half is from Sydney and he feels Perth is a lot more chilled so that's where we have plumped for [emoji16] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was always the long term plan - we also both have family in Perth. I like the hills, but want to be closer to the city - my wife grew up in Applecross, so we will probably try around there for Applecross High School zone.
